How to get your vote transferred to current residential address in Pakistan for General Elections 2013

In recent years while election commission of Pakistan was in process of generating the revised voter lists, they gone door to door in each area and registered the residents as voters from that specific areas.

Website of Meezan Bank is Down

Meezan bank is bank which claims to be practicing the Islamic banking. It operates countrywide in Pakistan and is based in Karachi, Pakistan. As of this hour I was trying to access the bank’s website, as the new organization I joined is operating the accounts in same bank. I noticed that the website of the bank is now down for hours. Isn’t it strange for a bank when it’s site is down and no one is there at their IT department to keep track of things. Organizations of Pakistan, specially those operating on such a big level, should make sure that are accessible all the time on the internet. The website we are talking here is meezanbank.com By the way, […]

A man (Qadri) suddenly stands and leads people to capital wishing a positive change, now why are these so against him right now. Why they suddenly now remember the constitution of […]

Pervez Musharraf endorsed Tahir-al-Qadri’s long march and called it a success

Gen. (Retd) Pervez Musharraf former Army Chief and former president of Pakistan, called the Qadri’s long march a success.

Also, the basic idea behind the long march is also a fair one, current ruling party indeed proved to be the most corrupt in the history and that also proved by many supreme court orders during the ruling period of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Qadri basically demands the current government to not continue all the mess they are making and go for early elections. Many others like me personally would not be fan of Qadri but this time he is somewhat correct on what he […]
